Love: Keep Calm and Colour On

   Top of the morning to you dear readers! (My mom loved it when I posted that greeting in a past post so this is a tribute to her so that she can start off her day on a good note). On my last love post, I had asked a few good questions, one of which I had answered back then, but this morning I thought of answering another one. What is my favorite colour? Well at the moment, I'm torn between red, purple and blue; but if I had to choose, I think I'd have to go with blue. As you grow up, your tastes keep changing, and as a kid you basically had a new favorite colour every week, but if I look back, the colour blue was always in the group of my favorites as I named them off. For a long time, I loved the colours orange, green and blue (notice how blue is still here), and then it was yellow (my mother's favorite), green (my father's favorite) and blue (which is apparently my favorite).
   So it's not just the colour that makes me happy, but actually colouring once in a while seems to reboot my entire system if I'm feeling tired. When my mother and I go camping, she needs to colour once or twice during our trip as a kind of way to unwind. Just last year in residence, I had such a great time colouring a selection of Disney princesses that I covered my whole bedroom door with the drawings. It's one of those things that it doesn't matter how old you are, or how mature you pretend to be; colouring is a universal, ageless thing.
   And with that, colours also have certain characteristics associated with them, and are supposed to determine how we feel at a certain moment, (just think of the use of a mood ring). When I looked up colour charts, I feel that my favorite colours now, and those I liked in the past were well suited for me. Why not check it out yourself with the picture?
   So whether you're feeling yellow today, of might be pinkish tomorrow, just remember what Anna Wintour said: "Create your own style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others".
